[Intro]
Somebody's somethin’
Somebody said
Boss
[Verse 1]
I'm rusted, untrusted, and seventeen by three
I'm a bad investment but, baby at least I’m free
Some are ten times better than me
They walk around and fondle their filligree
That don't mean that my junk ain't green
Baby, I'm clean
[Verse 2]
It might've been something that somebody's something said
Somethin' 'bout nothin’ that maybe I might’ve did
It might be or might not be a disgrace
I saw the resignation upon your face
Changed your mind at the scene of the crime
I was clean
[Chorus]
Clean as a preacher's socks
Clean as the keys to the prison’s locks
Clean as a gin drink on the rocks
I'm clean, oh baby I'm clean
[Bridge]
But listen, I'm gonna get myself together
Like a hurricane in stormy weather
You might not hear from me for twenty-eight days
But when twenty-nine rolls around, listen
I’ll have some brand new ways
Oh, it's a brand new day, baby
I'm gonna be like a majestic oak
Swing and sway
[Verse 3]
Clean as a po' people's store-bought ball
Clean as a wall in a widow's hall
That don't mean that my junk ain't green
'Cause baby, I'm clean
[Chorus]
I was clean as a preacher's socks
Clean as the keys to the prison's locks
Clean as a gin drink on the rocks
I'm clean, clean clean
Clean as a preacher's socks
Clean as the keys to the prison's locks
Clean as a gin drink on the rocks
I'm clean, clean, clean, clean
